service bulletin front brake calipers.

[CoutureCoupe]

So Im in the dealership for an hour and a half at this point... I can see them poking around with all four tires. Let's hope they do this right. I'll give an update as soon as they are done here

i got my calipers 2 days before install (via my nissan techie, other NY ers hit me up to take advantage!)

i got to paint them before application

i had them tell me the same thing about the brakes that they would only not charge me if the brakes were defective. That is the dealership legend nissan in syosset. I am really fed up with the dealership!!

You need to call up Nissan Customer Service and talk to your regional rep-- I had an old POS Saturn and after fighting with the local stealership about a bulletin I called customer service and reported them. The dealership HAS to perform the bulletin repair if you are having the issues noted in the bulletin. Keep calling until something is done. I received the fix plus a $100 gift card for use at any saturn dealer because of the trouble. I'm sure Nissan is even more customer oriented than Saturn-- at least from what I've seen so far (this being my first Nissan ever).

Legend nissan... ohh right that dealership in a friggin log cabin.

Id destroy that dealership if i could, what morons work there... they wouldnt discuss a AC with me last august bc they are morons... i wouldnt ever go back there, infact, i told the sales manager that hes an idiot, and the rest of the staff must have been trained by him, a whole establishment of idiots..

Hit me up! i have the hookup at ADVANTAGE nissan in westbury..

What I was told today by my dealership was that the front brake bulletin included new Calipers, whereas the rear brake bulletin included only the pads (not the calipers).

Suppossedly they are two different issues, caused by two different parts of the braking system.

If someone got both front and rear calipers replaced let us know.

MisfitBrian- You attached the pdf image of the front bulletin-- does anyone have the pdf or image of the rear? I know what the bulletin involves but wanted to see if the calipers were mentioned in it or if it was just the pads as my dealership mentioned...

Yeah, saw that but I don't have an account there so I can't open the pdf file. My question was more of can someone take a screenshot as misfit did for the fronts?

Cheers

You can make an account for free up at the top of the page - i do it, but i don't have an photo website to post it up, and i'm leaving work now...

I had front calipers replaced and just the rear brake pads. My dad is a service manager at the dealership so I'm 99.9% sure I didn't get screwed.

I thought I had the service bulletin he brought home laying around here somewhere. May have thrown it out though. If I find it I'll scan and post.

bump so i can find this tomorow

I have an 08 and I just checked my VIN, and it's a number after the "2008 Vehicles built before" number (mine's C205xxx). Do you think I'd still be able to get the brakes replaced, or would they notice this and not let me?

I know that you guys are talking about 2008 and perhaps older having this brake problem. Any chance this is a problem with 2009 3.5 se coupe? Here's my issue...

As mentioned, I have a 2009 3.5se coupe. I'm located in Vancouver bc, Canada. In the past few months, I've noticed that my brakes has an odd sound and feel. This happens when slowing down from slow speeds to a stop. I would say from 40-50kmh down to stop. This is not hard braking at all. Just stopping while approaching a traffic light. Anyways, the front brakes sounds and feels like a rumbling noise with very mild to little vibration. The rumbling noise is almost like rubbing wet hands on a window but the tone is much slower. Is not a squeeking sound. It's a rumble. That's the best I can describe. This happens in rain and in completely dry warm weather. Not all the time either.

Anyone out there having this issue and located in Canada? I think the tsb's I've seen from a link in this thread refer to US models and don't apply to Canada, or does it? I'd like to get some info and hear from you guys before I go to the dealer to get it checked out. I want to arm myself with some knowledge and hope they won't jerk me around.

Btw, my car has 25,000kms on it. At my last oil change (non Nissan service center), they rotated my tires and told me I had roughly 50% on the front pads.

Thanks for any info you guys an provide.

this is ironic. about a month ago i went to the dealership to find out why my brakes were squeeking.. they told me it was normal and the brakes are still good this is BEFORE the bulletin...

but after i installed my coilovers, the brakes stopped squeeking.... i wonder if im able to still get new brakes lol

[dangeris]

Funny....I don't have that problem on my brakes Oh wait...I forgot...I have the AP Racing BBK

Hmm... That's almost funny

No matter, I ended up going to the dealership service. They checked it out and test drove it. Long story short... They found no problems. Plus, the tsb didn't apply to my vin# anyways.

I'm just going to replace the pads to see if the noise goes away.

[mattyfo0z]

Just dropped my car off at the dealership... first to fix the cruise control (the SET light flashes repeatedly) for the second time, and also to check out the brakes. I made sure to note that it was a service bulletin that I had reviewed online for the 2008 A/C, so I hope they check it out.

I had the same issue with my '09 at somewhere around 20k. At first, I was told there was no issue. Turned out that the front rotors were warped. My dealer took care of it for me, YMMV.

Good to know. I just want to be sure, when you had this problem, the noise is from slowing and stopping from low speeds, right? Not hard braking at high speeds.

The dealer that I ended up going to was terrible. The guy at the service counter was terrible. Just didn't care about me or or job or sympathetic of my issue. Like I was wasting his time. Umm... yeah, sure. I really wanted to take half day off from work, sit at Nissan for 2 hours for him to basically tell me they didn't find any problems and that the noise is normal.

I've made an appointment at another service centre. The driver side auto window switch will not auto single click close the windows. Probably a switch problem. I'm going to also get them to check on the brakes.
